PRONUNCIATION - A copy of Webster's
Unabridged Dictinary was offered at a
Teacher's Institute in Pennsylvania to
any teacher who would read the follow-
ing paragraph and pronounce every
word correctly, accroding to Webster.
No one succeeded in earning the Dic-
tionary, although nine teachers made
the attempt:
'A sacrilegions son of Belial, who
suffered from bronehitis, having ex-
hausted his finances, in order to make
good the deficit, resolved to ally himself
to a comely, lenient, and docile young
lady of the Malay or Caucasian race.
He accordingly purchased a calliope
and a necklace of a chameleon hus, and
securing a suite of rooms at a principal
hotel, he engaged the head waiter as
his coadjutor. He then dispatched a
letter of the most unexceptional caligra-
phy extant, inviting the young lady to a
mantinee. She revolted at the idea, re-
fused to consider herself sacrificable to
his desires and sent a polite note of re-
fusal; on receiving which he procured a
carbine and bowie knife, said that he
would now forge fetters hymeneal with
the queen, went to an isolated spot.
severed his jugular vein, and discharged
the contents of his carbine into his ab-
domen. The debris was removed by
the corner.
